Burnside Brewing Co. Heads to New York City for SAVOR

PORTLAND, Ore. — On June 14 and 15, Burnside Brewing Co will be one of 76 small and independent craft breweries, hailing from 31 different states and all regions of the country, represented at SAVOR: An American Craft Beer & Food Experience.

Presented by the Brewers Association and in its sixth year, SAVOR is the premier beer and food pairing event in the U.S.

After five consecutive years being held at the National Building Museum in Washington, D.C., SAVOR makes its much-anticipated debut in New York City. Each brewery will pour two of its beers, accompanied by a reception-style sampling of sweet and savory appetizers designed by Brewers Association culinary consultant Adam Dulye, Chef/Owner of The Monk’s Kettle and James Beard Award-semifinalist Abbot’s Cellar in San Francisco, and a select group of chefs specializing in beer and food pairings.

“With our focus on food pairing and food inspired beers, we couldn’t be more excited to be a part of the premier food and beer tasting event in the country. Following that theme, we’ve elected to bring two of our favorites befitting an event of this magnitude; Oatmeal Pale & GABF Gold Medal Winning Sweet Heat. Our Oatmeal Pale Ale is perfect for pairing with a wide array of cuisines, while our Sweet Heat displays it’s inspiration from a Caribbean chutney. ” said Jay Gilbert, co-owner of Burnside.

“SAVOR is the benchmark event for craft beer and food pairing in the U.S., and a unique opportunity to sample rare craft brewed beers from small and independent producers, many of which are not regularly available in New York,” said Julia Herz, craft beer program director at the Brewers Association. “We are so excited to bring SAVOR to the Big Apple and introduce New York beer lovers to the faces behind some of America’s most exciting breweries.”

When Burnside Brewing Co. opened its doors in 2010, the vision was concise. Focus on easy to drink beers that accompany and enhance the culinary experience. Brewmaster Jason McAdam is a creative trendsetter in brewing, bold enough to take risks and smart enough to leave a creative impression on your taste buds. He tweaks our desires for tradition with our Oatmeal Pale Ale, then throws in food inspired beers such as the GABF Gold Medal winning Sweet Heat, an apricot wheat beer dry hopped with scotch bonnet peppers reminiscent of a Caribbean chutney.
